Professional-grade nuclear red duct tape with superior UV resistance, clean removal, and exceptional durability for industrial applications. 24mm x 54.8m rolls with rubber adhesive, suitable for bundling, sealing, and heavy-duty holding in demanding environments.
3M™ Performance Plus Duct Tape 8979N is a highly specialized industrial-grade duct tape specifically engineered for demanding applications in nuclear power plants, shipbuilding, and steel fabrication industries. This premium tape features exceptional durability and weather resistance, capable of withstanding UV exposure, sunlight, and harsh environmental conditions for up to one year without deterioration. The distinctive red color makes it easily identifiable on job sites, while the cloth-reinforced polyethylene backing provides superior strength and conformability to irregular surfaces.
Designed for heavy-duty bundling, holding, masking, and protection applications, this tape offers outstanding performance characteristics including high tensile strength of 36 lbs (63 N/cm), excellent adhesion to steel at 48 oz/in, and clean removal properties that leave minimal residue even after six months of outdoor exposure. The rubber adhesive provides exceptional grip on masonry and rough surfaces, while the curl-resistant and moisture-resistant backing ensures reliable performance in challenging industrial environments. With a thickness of 12.1 mil (0.3 mm) and a roll length of 54.8 meters (59.93 yards), each case contains 48 rolls ready for immediate deployment.
This tape complies with MIL-STD-2041D(SH), Notice 2 specifications for leachable halides and sulfur, making it suitable for applications requiring strict contamination control. The hand-tearable design allows for quick application without cutting tools, while the writable surface enables easy labeling and identification. Operating effectively in temperature ranges from 4°C to 93°C (40°F to 200°F), this professional-grade tape delivers reliable performance across diverse industrial applications including automotive, construction, marine, military, and electrical work.
